SQL Database names and XML config files in Change Set 86963

However, when i look at my config file (AutoSPInstallerInput-hostname.xml) i see some changes in database names (for example instead previous ConfigDB, now is just Config , etc.) , this is fine for me, however in second part of configuration databases
gets the DB suffix for database name (as in default input xml configuration).

Please can you make it consistent use default with suffix DB or without it, just be sure it is consistent.

Also it would be nice if you could write some XML Schema for current XML configuration, just to check if structure is ok (maybe some parts are deleted, or added by mistake etc) in head of xml configs.

<!-- The name of the farm configuration database --><ConfigDB>Config</ConfigDB>

This is just an example how the parameter can look like, you can put there whatever you want. Also the DBPrefix is added to any database the script creates including the central admin and config db names. Sure you have configured all nessessary values?

Yes i have configured all parameters, and everything works. I just want to say that in previous version default configuration
ALL database names had a DB suffix (ConfigDB, ProfileDB, SyncDB), now in 3.0. , this DB suffix is lost for
SOME databases (as mentioned), however SOME of them still have it (StateServiceDB, WebAnalyticsReportingDB, WebAnalyticsStagingDB, UsageAndHealthDB ....) , so please make this consistent. I am aware
that I can configure this parameters as I want :)

Also, creating XML schema will be help for multiple individual, similar deployments.

already did several installs with v3, and all got the proper db prefix including the service databases you mention.

Hi,

sorry for my bad english, we do not understand each other. Database name prefix (in your case "Test_") normally works. I am talking about suffix not prefix in default Input XML file. (I have bolded "DB" word in your quote), to be consistent we should or
we should not use "DB" anyhow you have mixed database names (somewhere you have with "DB" and somewhere you have lose it :) )

If I understand the thread correctly, it's about the sample database names provided in the starter AutoSPInstallerInput.xml. You're ultimately responsible for these names; what I provided is again, merely a sample. I'll ensure that the sample values
are consistent though in the future (the next code drop, for example, puts in slightly better suggested account names).

Yes, that is it, I am suggesting to have consistent sample database names :)

Is it compatible with SharePoint Foundation?? -- it really shouldn't be too hard, should it?? -- just document what to comment out or not include in the process because it's not part of SPF and conditionals to do X if SharePoint Server, Y if SPF??
